"mom!"

Zhou Anan heard the noise coming from the elevator, turned her head and her eyes lit up instantly when she saw it was Nancy.

"Hey, An An baby."

Nancy opened her arms and stepped forward to embrace her daughter.

After entering the house, Zhou Anan took Pingping to the room to do homework. Zhou Junjie accompanied them, while Nancy and Zhou Jinfan went to the kitchen.

Zhou Kexin had no food at home, and she only drank some porridge when she was discharged from the hospital. Nancy wanted to make some porridge for Zhou Kexin and send it to her after dinner.

Seeing her fiddling around, Zhou Jinfan said, "Tell me what you want to eat and I'll make it for you."

Nancy continued what she was doing and said, "It's not for me, it's for Sister Zhou. She has acute gastroenteritis and had her stomach washed. Now she can only eat light food. I just came back from her house, and she has nothing there."

Zhou Jinfan's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Why did you suddenly become ill when you were fine?"

Speaking of this, Nancy paused and couldn't help sighing.

After washing the rice in the casserole, she turned to look at Zhou Jinfan and told him everything that had happened between her and Zhou Kexin that day.

When talking about the gift Zhou Kexin gave her, Nancy pointed to her neck.

Zhou Jinfan lowered his eyes and saw a uniquely designed necklace hanging on Nancy's beautiful swan-like neck. The diamonds inlaid on the necklace sparkled under the light, making Nancy's skin look even whiter.

I have already laid it all out with my aunt, but she still took the initiative to buy a gift for Nancy. What is her intention towards Nancy?

After Nancy finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh, "I really didn't expect Sister Zhou to have been relying on takeout for a while. She's been very nice to me, and I feel bad seeing her like this."

Zhou Jinfan looked at his wife's bright and gentle face and sighed silently in his heart.

Even though he has been betrayed by everyone around him and suffered such painful hurt, he still treats others with sincerity.

What a silly woman.

He responded softly, "I guess she's too busy at work. Sister Zhou is a workaholic. Workaholics only care about work and not life."

Nancy knew this, but...

"Is it really worth it? I worked so hard to have everything, but I don't have a healthy body. In the end, I am the one who suffers."

"Hubby, I think the way we are now is good enough. We don't ask for great wealth, we just want peace and prosperity."

Zhou Jinfan's back stiffened. He looked at Nancy with a darker look in his eyes and said half-jokingly, "You're too easily satisfied. If I had the power and influence to give you a better life, wouldn't that be even better?"

Unexpectedly, Nancy covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, teasingly saying, "Just like in the novel, you're actually a big boss who's hiding your identity, and when you return home after many years, you have to give back everything that belongs to me?"

This playful joke made Zhou Jinfan's heart skip a beat.

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "If that's true, are you happy?"

Nancy chuckled: "Forget it, then. I think our current life is good. It's ordinary, warm, simple and happy. If I really lived a wealthy life, I would definitely not be as happy as I am now."

Zhou Jinfan's heart sank to the bottom, and he began to back down from his plan of revealing everything.

He was always calm and composed, but at this moment he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Nancy doesn't like that kind of life. What if she knows my identity and wants to leave me?

No, he couldn't accept Nancy's departure, and he would never let Nancy leave him!

Seeing Nancy's doubtful look, Zhou Jinfan pulled himself out of his thoughts and chuckled, "You're right."

Nancy turned around and filled the casserole with water: "Okay, let's cook quickly. An An will be hungry soon."

Seeing that her porridge was already cooking, Zhou Jinfan said softly, "You go out. The kitchen is full of fumes. I'll do it."

Nan looked at the man's handsome and gentle eyes, and remembered that Sister Zhou said the company had a lot of business recently, but Jinfan insisted on going home on time every day.

She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt that Zhou Jinfan seemed to have lost some weight.

She raised her hand and touched Zhou Jinfan's angular cheek: "I want to be with you."

Zhou Jinfan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he held Nancy's soft hand: "Okay."

After dinner, Nancy went into the kitchen, packed the porridge for Zhou Kexin, and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Zhou Anan called her, "Mom, where are you going?"

Nancy stopped at the entrance, looked at her daughter's puzzled face, and explained, "Mom is going to see Aunt Zhou. She's sick and probably hasn't eaten yet."

When Zhou Anan heard this, she put down the things in her hands and walked to Nancy: "Mom, can I go with you?"

The toys Aunt Zhou bought for her are still in her room. She likes this beautiful aunt.

Zhou Junjie's heart was alarmed when he saw this. How come he didn't know that his aunt was sick? Could it be a torture trick on Nancy?

No, he has to go along and see.

"Sister Nancy, I want to go with you too. I was wondering why I didn't see Sister Zhou at the company today. It turns out she was sick."

Zhou Jinfan was wiping the table and looked towards the entrance.

As soon as Zhou Junjie opened his mouth, he knew what Zhou Junjie was thinking.

His eyebrows twitched, and he felt that Zhou Junjie's reaction was a bit too much. Sooner or later, Nancy would find out what was going on.

"Nancy, wait a moment, let's go together."

Nancy stood at the entrance and thought that Zhou Kexin's house was so quiet, so she thought it was okay.

"Okay, let's go together."

Zhou Jinfan wiped the table, took off his apron, picked up Zhou Anan and followed Nancy to Zhou Kexin's house.

Zhou Junjie lagged behind Zhou Jinfan like a little tail. Looking at the overlapping shadows of the two people under the street light, he felt a burst of joy in his heart, and a secret pleasure grew in his heart.

Nancy lives in Building 3 and Zhou Kexin lives in Building 5, which is very close to each other.

Nancy stood at the door of Zhou Kexin's house and rang the doorbell.

Several people waited at the door for a while, but no one came to open it.

Nancy couldn't help but feel worried: "Could something have happened to Sister Zhou?"

Zhou Jinfan: "Don't you have her phone number? Give her a call and see if she can answer. Maybe she didn't hear the doorbell."

"Oh yes."

As she spoke, Nancy took out her cell phone and called Zhou Kexin.

The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. A woman's weak voice came through the receiver: "Nancy?"

Nancy asked worriedly, "Sister Zhou, are you okay? I'm at your door. Can you please get up and open the door?"

When she woke up, it was dark outside the window. Zhou Kexin's head was still a little groggy. When she heard Nancy at the door, she was stunned for a moment.
